General Description
H-Lys(Boc)-OH, also known as H-Lys(t-BOC)-OH, is an ε-amino-protected lysine. Its e-amino free lysine could be conjugated to polyurethane surfaces by reaction of the alpha-amino group with the NHS and deprotection. The covalent conjugation was carried out in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), pH 8.2. Lysine was used to create a plasminogen-binding potentially fibrinolytic surface[1].
